Robbie Myers

Robbie Myers has been leading top media brands for over 25 years.

Robbie most recently served for 18 years as the Editor-in-Chief of ELLE, the number one fashion magazine in the world. Under her leadership, the brand experienced unprecedented success—including a 53% increase in readership—while maintaining its reputation for covering fashion, luxury, beauty, culture, and social and political issues from an elevated perspective, informed by Robbie’s commitment to journalistic integrity, and bold visual storytelling, eventually reaching more than 28 million readers, users, and fans across all mediums, including print, digital, mobile, and social. During her tenure, ELLE enjoyed 16 straight quarters of revenue growth—twice—and with the September 2015 issue, published the largest issue in parent company Hearst’s 128-year-history. Robbie also made sure ELLE was the first fashion magazine brand to: capture an immersive VR fashion experience; partner with an unscripted TV show, Project Runway; feature content on Google Glass; debut a weekly interactive tablet edition; and introduce a social shopping platform.

Forbes included her on its list of Most Powerful U.S. Fashion Magazine Editors; The Business of Fashion featured her as one of the most influential people shaping the global fashion industry; and Gotham dubbed her a Media Power Player. She has received six ASME nominations over her career, including General Excellence, she’s been honored by New York Women in Communications with a Matrix Awards and received the Marylou Luther Award for Fashion Journalism.
